Introduction Thank you for selecting the Marantz Professional PMD570 Solid State Recorder. The PMDS570 is an audio recorder that records in digital audio formats onto a Compact FlashTM memory card (CF card) or MicrodriveTM, Compact flash memory cards, also used in digital cameras, are widely available at consumer electronics retailers and computer resellers. Computer compatible The PMD570 records directly onto CF cards. Record- ings can be transferred to your desktop or laptop computer by removing the CF card from the PMD570 or by connecting the PMD570 to your computer via the I/O port. Audio recorded in the popular MP3 compression format is directly available for intranet or internet file sharing. On your computer you can then: + log and archive audio files + play audio files + save audio files to:

• a floppy + a CD-R disc + post streaming audio files on your web site use software and your computer to transcribe digital recordings An editing program (Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application software, available from Marantz Professional for PC users) lets you convert and edit audio files that were recorded on the PMD570. Setup + _ Three menu selectable Presets make it easy to switch between your commonly used input, recording format, playback parameters and other menu selections. Audio inputs may be from: + line level sources connected to the BALANCED IN XLR jacks, + line level audio sources connected to the ANA- LOG IN RCA jacks, or + digital audio sources in SPDIF format connected to the DIGITAL IN jack. Audio outputs may be from: headphones connected to the HEADPHONE jack, analog audio devices such as an amplifier or other device connected to the ANALOG OUT jacks, and/or digital audio devices using SPDIF format con- nected to the DIGITAL OUT jack. External control RS-232C control codes enable full external control of the PMD570. Suggested Presets that are downloadable to the PMD570 via the RS-232C control port are available at d-mpro.com. An optional wired Remote Marantz Model RC600 connects via a TRRS connector and permits: + starting, stopping, or pausing recording + adding EDL marks (see next page) to a track A second wired remote connection accepts a mono Phone jack (remote control not supplied). Depending on the menu selection a simple contact closure connected here permits: Start Pause: pause and resume StrtPausTR: restart after pause while recording initiates a new track EDL Mark: add a silent EDL mark Manual TRK: initiate a new track while record- ing (if Seamless Play is off during playback adds a small audio gap) Security - CF cards For security the CF card compartment door can be secured with a screw. Requiring a tool to open the CF card compartment reduces casual removal of the CF card. Automatic recording The PMD570 can be set to stop recording when there is silence (Silent Skip) and automatically start when sound resumes. The PMD570 can be set to automatically add an EDL mark to the track at each such starting point. Playback aids À common problem with lengthy recordings is difficulty in locating one or more specific passages for playback. The PMD570 has several ways to mark or tag specific record starting and/or ending points. + Date and time A built-in date and time generator marks the begin- ning of each track.

+ Tracks + _ A new track (file) is automatically started each time you begin a recording. +_Itis not possible to record over a previously recorded track unless it is first erased. + An Auto Track feature can add tracks every minute or other selectable recording interval. (Minute track: Setting the interval to one minute provides a new track every minute of a recording, permitting navigating a large audio recording by time.) + A new track can be started during recording by pressing the Record button. (Manual TR, Manual Track incrementing, On.) EDL marks EDL marks are silent during playback but locatable. EDL (Edit Decision List) marks can be created during recording manually or automatically. EDL marks help you find those specific points in the recording. *The EDL marking system is proprietary to Marantz Professional solid state recorders. + During playback you can instantly locate EDL marks. You can change an EDL mark into a skip mark or an A-B repeating point. That lets you create custom playback sequences which include skipping audio between EDL marks or repeating audio between EDL marks. EDL marks are specific to the CF card, not to Tracks. That lets you create custom playback sequences across Tracks. Up to 255 EDL marks can be added to a CF card. EDL marks are numbered consecutively starting at one. + During recording you can manually add an EDL mark by pushing and holding while you push the KES button. + EDL marks can also be added automatically. Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application software, is specifically designed by Marantz. Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application software recognizes EDL marks generated by the PMD570. This is especially useful for editing audio files on your PC. For more information visit www.d-mpro.com. Features + Stereo (2 channels) and mono (1 channel) audio recording and playback. Records onto various types of CF cards. (Please refer to the Marantz Professional web site at www.d-mpro.com for what kind of media are recommended.) Three different recording formats. + Compressed recording using MPEG1 Layer II (MP2) or MPEGI Layer III (MP3) mono and stereo. + Uncompressed recording using 16-bit linear Pulse Code Modulation (PCM). MS-DOSTM, Windows and Macintosh compatible audio files. Selectable file types: + Wave + Broadcast Wave Format + RAW MP2/MP3. recording bit rate is selectable + MP2/MP3 compressed at 32kbps (recommended for dictation), 32, 48, or 64kbps (recommended for voice recording), or 128, or 192 kbps (recommended for recording music) + PCM uncompressed at 768kbps (mono) (very high quality mono audio recording) + PCM uncompressed at 1536kbps (stereo) (recom- mended for very high quality audio recording) Pre-Recording memory buffer that records 2 seconds of audio before recording is started. Portions of multiple recordings can be played back in sequence using EDL marks. Built-in Time and Date generator marks the begin- ning of each track. Three remote options, including RS-232C, permit wired remote control.

RecFormat The PMD570 can record in a variety of compression algorithm, associated bit rate, file format, and record- ing type (channels recorded) parameters. See explana- tions and chart below. First determine the input connection you want to record from; BALANCED IN, ANALOG, or DIGI- TALIN. Second set the Preset Menu Input choice to correspond with the connection: Bal.In, Unbal., or Dig-IN. RecFormat parameters: Channels The recording channel can be stereo (two discrete channels of recording) or mono (one channel of recording). Set to match your inputs. Algorithm The PMD570 can record using three methods, PCM and two compression algorithms: MP2, and MP3. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is uncompressed. These are high quality audio files used in the recording industry. For File Format The file format (3 character computer file extension) can be .wav, .bwf, .mpg or .mp3. Broadcast Wave format, used primarily in the broadcast industry, includes identification codes in the file header. Chart of RecFormat Parameters The PMD570 parameter menu settings are extensive but limited to plausible combinations. This table of parameters reflects the menu setting sequence. Column input channel(s) audio format sampling frequency bit rate file format extension (if BWF chosen in 6) RhESbDE À Balin, Unbal. or Dig-In example, for recording CD quality music. MP3 is highly compressed, and creates relatively small files that are commonly used to share files on the internet. MP2 is a compressed file format that is commonly used in broadcasting. MP2 audio is a higher quality than MP3. This is especially useful when lower bitrates are used. If you are a news reporter you will probably want to record in Broadcast Wave format (BWF) using MP2 compression. Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application software and other professional level computer applications are available for computer process- ing of PCM, MP2 and MP3 files. Sampling Frequency Sampling frequency is measured in kHz (kilo- hertz). The sampling frequency is the number of samples of the audio wave(s) per second. For example, the PMD570 can record PCM at 48 kHz that is 48,000 samples per second. Bit Rate The bit rate for PCM is constant for each sampling frequency. MP2 and MP3 can be recorded at a number of different bit rates.

Power off and back on to resume recording or play- back on the PMD570. While Online the CF card in the PMD570 appears as a removable device on your computer. The audio files are in a folder that is named MPGLANGI. CAUTION: Only copy audio files (tracks) to other volumes. Do not modify or delete the EDL file. If the EDL file is missing or damaged PMD570 will not be able to recognize EDL marks. Do not remove a CF card during "1/0 Online" mode. Data and the CF card can be damaged. See the enclosed CD-ROM for demo PMDEdit software for computer audio file manipulation. PMDEdit is a full featured software suite designed for Marantz Professional digital recorders available for purchase at www.d-mpro.com. What will appear on your computer is a file titled PMD670.EDL* and a folder (directory) titled MPGLANGI. Files within the MPGLANGI folder are numbered from 1001 through the number of tracks recorded to a maximum of 1999. The file extension will be .mp3, .wav, .bwf or .mpg depending on the RecFormat parameters that were set for the recording. *PMD670 is used to insure compatibility between PMD670 and PMD570 PMDEdit operations.

EDL marks EDLX* (Edit Decision List) marks help you locate specific points in the recording. During regular playback EDL marks are silent. *The EDL marking system is proprietary to Marantz Professional solid state recorders. EDL marks can be created during recording manually or automatically. EDL marks can also be added during playback or play pause at any time. During stop or play pause you can search for EDL marks by pushing and holding and turning the Jog Wheel. You can change an EDL mark into a skip mark or an A-B repeating point. That lets you create custom playback sequences which include skip- ping audio between EDL marks or repeating audio between EDL marks. See How to Edit EDL marks on page 45. Up to 255 EDL marks can be added to a CF card. EDL marks are numbered consecutively starting at one. During recording you can manually add an EDL mark by pressing and holding the button while pressing and releasing the XXE button. PMDEdit computer software, is specifically designed for the PMD570 and PMD670. Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application software recognizes EDL marks generated by the PMD570. This is especially useful for editing audio files on your PC. For more information visit www.d- mpro.com. EDL marks are initially entered as ‘Point marks. An EDL mark can also be a Skip mark, Loop_A mark, or Loop_B mark. Skip marks When EDL Play is at On, playback segments that begin with a Skip mark are skipped. Although the skipped segment remains on the CF card it plays back as if it has been erased. Loop marks When EDL Play is at On, when there is a Loop_A and a Loop_B mark on the CF card, playback repeats between the A and B marks. Locating EDL Marks From stop or play pause push and hold the button while you turn the Jog Wheel to scroll through the EDL marks on the CF card. Note: If you push and hold the button and turn the Jog Wheel during playback, the PMD570 automati- cally switches to play pause to scroll through the EDL marks.
